My Auction Items

Yes, I think it is starburst. I see the small glasses like I have from time to time, but rarely see the larger glasses.

Oh, I think soap in the pour glasses is such a good idea!

The pattern is also call Star of David and you can find pieces of it pretty easily. I've been looking on e-bay and the large tumblers are hard to find. Here's some that I found......

I'll keep my eyes open too!!

Janet, your purchases look wonderful!! I noticed that one of the cruets match the large bowl you bought when I was there!! Nice!! I really like the bowls on the pedestals and the cracker jar is just beautiful!! You did really good and what fun I'm sure you had! There's nothing more fun than going to an auction, buying some things, then coming home and cleaning them up and displaying them!!

The candle holders will look very nice on your mantle with some colored candles in them. Put one of each holder on each side and put books under one set to make them be at different heights.....use some old books to add some interest!! Fun!!

I really haven't done anything with the glassware except for clean it and put them in the hutch and cabinet. I will display them better later. I like the idea of putting the candel holders on the fireplace mantle. I already have a couple there, but it may look really nice with more.

Group them together.....three on one side and three on the other. You can even get different sizes and heights to add to them.

Diana, that for looking up the glassware I am looking for. You are right, the larger glasses are very scarce. I guess that is why they are so expensive.

If you keep an eye on e-bay you can often find some bargains. You just have to keep looking for them and one day they'll show up at a decent price.
